Next-Gen manufacturing technology

Intel’s first 22nm microprocessors are expected to be in production by late 2011. Investments include a new development fab, plus upgrading four existing fabs to manufacture the next-generation 22nm process technology.

Intel will again advance its manufacturing processes with a 14nm manufacturing plant in Chandler, Arizona U.S.A. Building the new fab on the leading-edge 14-nanometer process enables Intel to manufacture more powerful and efficient computer chips. The plant is expected to begin production in 2013.
